Winona

My story

Hi, my name is Winona. I’m a beautiful short-haired mommy cat, and my life has been quite a journey. I was born with a condition called eyelid agenesis, which means I was born without eyelids. Before I was rescued, I was living on the streets, trying to survive with very limited vision. Even through those difficult times, I gave birth to four beautiful babies and did everything I could to keep them safe. When I was found, I went to my wonderful foster mom’s home. She says I did an amazing job raising my kittens, proving that you don’t have to see perfectly to take care of the ones you love. Once all of my babies found their forever homes, I had surgery on both of my eyes twice. I can see some now, and while my vision isn’t perfect, it has made such a difference in my life. Because my eyesight is still limited, fast movements can startle me. That’s why I’d do best in a home without young children—you know how quickly little ones can move! I’m incredibly loving with my people and have a purr that never seems to stop. I love affection and am so thankful for the safe, happy life I have today. I’ve come a long way to gain the vision I have now, but one thing has never changed: my sweet, friendly heart. If you’re looking for a gentle, grateful companion who will fill your home with love and purrs, I just might be your perfect match. I’m spayed, microchipped, and up to date on my vaccines. All I need now is a forever family to love.
